I wish someone put a plastic bag over FatFuk Shitler's head despite my being a firm advocate of recyclable cloth bags.

Perfect example of all this just happened.

TL;DR Version:

Me: There is a new issue with this daily report that came up today, which is going to be a problem in the future. I can resolve it by doing this very simple and easy thing, though.Dumbass Manager: Hem Haw Hem Haw, well, that's not the way it's done , we need to think about it and ask other people, blah blah blah.[NOTE: he has no IDEA of how it's ACTUALLY done, because he himself HAS NOT BOTHERED TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT, and also he never bothered to ask anyone else about it.]Me: ... ... ... Fine.

Two Weeks Later...

Dumbass Manager: We have a problem with this report.Me: Yes, it's because of the issue we spoke about two weeks ago. I know how to fix it, though, which is by doing this.Dumbass Manager: Hem Haw Hem Haw, well, I want to call someone at corporate to see how to fix it.Me: ... ... ... Fine.Dumbass Manager, Ten Minutes Later: So that thing you said you could do is the way to fix it.Me: I know, I just fixed it on the report while you were talking on the phone. I'll do it going forward.Dumbass Manager: ... ... ... fine.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd scene.

Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grind- stone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin.

Yes - Keep the same damn menu. Most fast food advertising isn't to expand the customer pool - it's to take customers away from another chain. It simply isn't efficient to keep changing the menu up and lowering the prices. In-N-Out has had the same, simple, very good menu for years.

Just come out and say it Republicans: you too have abandoned capitalism for a return to feudalism!

"short-term financial assistance for the vulnerable and displaced during the height of the pandemic has turned into a dangerous federal entitlement, incentivizing and paying workers to stay at home rather than encouraging them to return to the workplace"

Um, if people don't want to work is that not their right? Work fucking sucks. Especially all these jobs that pay worse than shitty unemployment assistance.

I thought I read that the April numbers were affected by the fact that so many people are trying to get back into employment that the number of job seekers spiked?

Time for those states to renew their reliance on the meth entrepreneurs who have been carrying the economy for so long!

It is not surprising that people don't want to pay for that time bomb. Building in tinder box style environment has always been a risk. Increase the amount of building and add climate change and you get an unsustainable living situation.

Long past time to ban "business people" from government service. They don't know shit about anything but business, and less than shit about that. But they sure as fuck do know how to strip-mine poor and working people to line their own pockets.
